    Laminate flooring is made of several layers that are fused together through a lamination process. The top layer is a clear, hard-plastic wear layer that protects the floor from scratches and fading. Below it is a high-resolution photograph of real wood or stone, giving it a realistic appearance. The core layer is made of fiberboard or particleboard, providing durability and stability.

    Laminate flooring is a practical and attractive flooring option for homes, offering the aesthetic appeal of real wood or stone with added durability and resistance to wear and tear.

    Benefits of Laminate Flooring

    Laminate flooring offers numerous benefits in a home. Its durability makes it ideal for high-traffic areas and households with pets and children. Maintenance is a breeze, as it is easily cleaned with regular sweeping and occasional mopping. Additionally, the installation of laminate flooring is simple and effective.

    Laminate flooring is also water-resistant, and with some brands waterproof. This makes it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms and the whole house. It is fade and stain-resistant, ensuring that it maintains its appearance over time. The versatility of laminate flooring allows for a wide range of styles and colors, making it easy to find the perfect fit for any home decor.

    One of the standout benefits of laminate flooring is its cost-effectiveness. It offers the look of hardwood or stone at a fraction of the cost, allowing homeowners to achieve the aesthetic they desire without breaking the bank. In conclusion, laminate flooring provides a durable, low-maintenance, easy-to-install, water-resistant, versatile, and cost-effective option for any home.

    Types of Laminate Flooring

    Laminate flooring comes in a variety of types, including wood, stone, and tile finishes. Wood laminate flooring offers the look of hardwood with a lower price tag, making it an affordable and durable option for any room. Stone laminate flooring mimics the appearance of natural stone, providing a high-end look without the cost and maintenance. Tile laminate flooring replicates the look of ceramic or porcelain tiles, offering a versatile and stylish option for kitchens and bathrooms.

    These laminate flooring options come in various colors, surface treatments, and plank thicknesses, allowing for customization to suit any style or preference. Wood laminate can come in oak, maple, cherry, and other finishes, while stone and tile laminates offer options like marble, slate, and travertine looks. Surface treatments like embossing, hand-scraped textures, and high gloss finishes add visual interest and different feels underfoot.

    The latest trends in laminate flooring include wider planks for a modern and spacious look, as well as mixed-width planks for a unique and rustic appearance. Gray tones and muted colors are popular choices, providing a contemporary and timeless aesthetic. Laminate flooring with realistic textures and high-definition prints continue to gain popularity, offering a natural and sophisticated look for any space.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Laminate Flooring Compared to Other Types of Flooring

    Laminate flooring offers several advantages compared to other types of flooring. It is more affordable and easier to install, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners. However, laminate flooring lacks the ability to be refinished and is not moisture-proof, which can be a disadvantage in certain environments.

    One of the benefits of laminate flooring is its extreme resilience, making it resistant to scratches, dents, and stains. Additionally, it comes in a wide variety of designs and styles, giving it a beautiful appearance that can mimic the look of hardwood or stone. Maintenance is also simple, as laminate flooring only requires regular sweeping and occasional mopping to keep it looking its best.

    Compared to other flooring options, laminate flooring is a cost-effective choice that offers easy installation, durability, and low maintenance. However, it may not be suitable for areas with high moisture content and does not have the option of refinishing, unlike hardwood flooring.

    My husband and I highly recommend Smart Carpet for your flooring needs. Great company, quality materials and knowledgeable sales consultants. We’re on our second flooring project with this company. We want to personally that Jay who was knowledgeable and patient with us. He presented great options and products to achieve our desired outcome. Oh, on a side note, I understand the owner is a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan and so are we!! We are forever customers now! We get tons of compliments on our flooring. We can’t wait for the new stairs, hallway and master bedroom flooring to be installed. Thanks again Jay and Smart Carpet!

    We contacted Costco carpeting to check out carpeting options for our entire home, and Smart Carpet and Flooring reached out to us. They responded immediately and put us in touch with Louis. He came by with the carpet samples and armed with his thorough professional knowledge helped me to narrow my selection.After that, he immediately got involved hands on and was able to get us dates, within a couple of weeks despite our date restrictions and the installation date depending on availability and shipment.The team arrived and got to work very swiftly and efficiently. Despite the large job involving removal of old carpet in the entire house and moving large furnitures and working around that, in about 2 days they complete the entire house and even moved most of the items back. Louis was in touch with us before, during and after the installation and went the extra mile to insure we have minimal disruption. Overall, a very satisfying experience.

    Had my carpet put in about 6 months ago and didn’t see to be installed correctly on the stairs. It was coming off in the corners and fapping in the middle . I called smart carpet and they sent a gentlemen over by the name of Samy. He looked at the work and said this was not put in correctly we need to fix this. After speaking with smart carpet again , they offered to take the carpet off the stairs and redo the stairs again for me. Samy came to re do the stairs and it looks amazing . I am so pleased with the customer satisfaction and the quality of service I received from the sales team and the installer . Would definitely recommend and use again if I need floors or carpet installed .

    We are so incredibly happy with our new floors! Our salesman, Robert Dolan was wonderful with helping us decide the best flooring for our needs. He was always available for us when we had questions, and made us feel very comfortable with our purchase. I would absolutely have him help us again. The install team was very friendly, knew exactly what to do, and worked non-stop to provide us with the best install possible. The flooring is exactly what we wanted, and we can’t be happier. I will definitely be using Smart Carpet again. Thank you all!

He explained everything to me and gave me his cell number in case I had any questions. Then he stopped by to see how the job was going during the install.The installers were very nice and did a great job on my kitchen floor putting down a luan base and vinyl sheet flooring.I am very happy with the end result.

    I am so pleased I used SMART Carpet to install new carpeting in my home. I worked with Nicole Bonner, who was the absolute best and so knowledgeable and responsive to my questions. The installers were fabulous - very professional, and did a flawless job installing the carpeting. They also cleaned up after themselves and did a fairly big job in a single day. I strongly recommend them!

    Louie was our Smart Carpet sales representative for our home in Somerset County. Louie was extremely helpful in helping us decide on the best option for our carpet needs. He was extremely knowledgeable on all of the products that were offered and explained everything in great detail and made great recommendations. Louie went the extra mile in contacting the warehouses to ensure that the selection that we made was available and could be installed in a timely manner. The installation team that arrived a few days later to install the carpet was meticulous with their work and the carpet came out perfect. Louie followed up with us every step of the way including after the carpet installation to make sure that we had no issues even days after the installation. We will be contacting Louie in the near future for our additional carpet needs and we highly recommend using Smart Carpet for your carpet needs.
